Creo+ and Creo Parametric

opening native multi-body solidworks2022 part file opens as an assembly in creo9should open as multi-body part file ?thanksRich 

Hi,Is ist posible to use parts with complex geometry for familiy tabels. Pls see attached picture. I have a part where I want to drive the outer diameter by a family table parameter and the inside conture, which has a lot of dimension, should also scale when I change  the diameter. I dont want to put in any inside shape dimesnion into family paramter because this is way to much work.The relations between outer diameter and inside shape should also be constant for each family table part. Basis question: Is this possible, If yes - how?   

When opening a standard part file (typically in .step or .iges format), the system should ask for the supplier's name. We would like to have a drop-down list . This supplier information should then be linked to the part's parameters Common supplier listFestoSMCEmcMisumiSchunkSchmalzABBOther(manually edit)

I would like to probe inside a thermal analysis but when creating a "section" view and trying to select a point on the inside, the invisible part is selected instead.Specifically, I would want to probe the yellow parts. Is there a way to select a point not on a surface? On a plane?

Hi everyone,I am facing an exciting challenge and am hoping to find some expert opinions here. I have a comprehensive family table with over a thousand different parts and want to identify the optimal part from this collection. My idea is to conduct a CFD analysis to determine the best results. My question is: Is it possible to perform a CFD analysis for such a family table? Can the entire analysis be precomputed so that, in the end, I only need to go through the results? I understand that the interpretation of the results ultimately lies with the viewer, but it would be great if the analysis process could be automated to identify the best parts more quickly and efficiently.  I am using Creo 10 for this task. Has anyone here conducted a similar analysis or can offer tips on how to approach this? Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards 🙂

Hello,   I am trying to write a C++ code into Creotoolkit  to import relations from .txt format file and then regenerate the model. Can anybody guide me how can this be achieved?  TIA

I am trying to get the color of surface after selecting it with a selection pointer as described in the toolkit user guide. It appears that the information resides wfcAppearance which is extracted from wfcWSelection. pfcSelection_ptr selSurface = pfcCreateModelItemSelection(pfcModelItem::cast(surfaces->get(0)));wfcWSelection_ptr wselSurface = wfcWSelection::cast(selSurface);if (wselSurface->GetVisibleAppearance().isnull())     cout << "Error: wfcAppearance nullptr" << endl; but GetVisibleAppearance() is returning a nullptr. However, when I select a surface using user selection process by directly clicking on it after invoking session->select(), I am able to get wfcAppearance where i can access surface properties including its color. Can anyone please help why is GetVisibleAppearance() returning nullptr from pfcSelection_ptr when selecting a surface programmatically using pfcCreateModelItemSelection() instead of clicking on it

We are currently entering material and remarks information in columns. We would like to have a drop-down list in the material column with the specified materials, allowing us to select from the list. In the remark's column, the corresponding coating or treatment for the selected material will automatically appear

Hello,I used an angle to constrain a component in the assembly; the angle is assigned a random name (d58).Is it possible to change the dimension's name to something meaningful?The reason for this is to use a name that has meaning in BMX.  Thnaks 

I have an assembly that has multiple representations , am using Creo 8 and no windchill.I want to save one representation as standalone assembly without referencing main assembly. Below is the workflow I have tried: When I use above method , I get new assembly as per below image. I did not select dependent checkbox My question is:1. why does my new assembly has different icon?2. Why does new assembly still being linked with main assembly (see below image)  

How do you create those representations? If I create reps I can't change the colors. Only if I make appearances. But appearances cannot be set on the drawing... So If I set different appearance's on the combined state in the model it works just fine, but on the drawing it is not! How should I do it?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeF000Thank you for your assistance.We are currently using Creo 4.0.I am thinking of installing the new Creo from October this year,How different is the interface, feel of operation, and functionality of versions 9.0 and 10.0 compared to 4.0?I apologize for the vagueness of this question,We may need to revise our textbook, so we would appreciate it if you could enlighten us.Best Regards,Ryoji Kaneko

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.3.0I was trying to measure the torque changes in spur gear for study purpose but was unable to calculate it using MDO.Is there anything that I am missing,I have applied Material as steel, all connections have applied with gears, a force motor to drive the pinion and another force motor with 0.000 coefficeint on the gear to measure the net load on it. the net load is coming out as 0. If any one have done this before then please let me know.

I recently switched to CREO 10 and the start_model_dir and template_### in the config file don't seem to work.  When I start a new part, with the use default template option picked, a "New File Options" screen pops up and my templates are not there.  If I browse, it goes to the "start_model_dir".  Is it going to be like this all the time?  This opens up the possibility of choosing the wrong template.  It leaves with questions: 1) Why didn't the new part use the template that is assigned in my config file when the "default template" option is chosen? 2) Why aren't my templates shown in the "New File Options"?  Why do I have to browse?

HelloDoes anyone know how I can get material to show up in a title block? I'd like to see the material assigned to a part in the drawing.i couldn't find the parameter for material.Any assistance is greatly appreciated!  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM140we are trying to create a ordinate dimension but the problem is the dimension is not created from the actual witness line, is there any possible way to move the witness line using Protoolkit.

We have been tweaking our config.pro lately, adjusting settings which we normaly set by hand.   So one setting is the comp_assemble_start, which we have set at contrain_in_window. When adding a new component to an assembly, this setting will show a new window for that component.   But the component is not being shown in the main 3D window. We have to click the button "Show component in the assembly window while specifying constraints"   So searching for more config options, I encounter display_comps_to_assemble, which we have set to yes, but nothing happens. It seems like Creo is ignoring that setting.   Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, Following video will highlight Generative Design behavior when setting Total_Load_at_Point to the value "Rigid" or "Deformable" .    

I need to import several STEP files exported from PTC Creo.Currently all imported objects have a very long name similar to this:63BA2014C78DEC881B086CFF8F77897FA0C680C8|:|B8A4396250C5687B1D31E70758B30729E1AC4426I did find this option "Over-ride with explicit user defined names" in the manual here:https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/data_exchange/interface/step_export_profile_and_config_options.html#I assume that would give me actual names when importing. Unfortunately I did not find any information on how to set user-defined names inside Creo. Any information on how to do this would really help me. Thanks

Good morning is possible to insert a family table file of an exiting profile in AFX?

I am trying to create a curve between two points(3D) on a surface that should trace the Manhattan distance instead of an Euclidean distance. How do we achieve this in Creo 9?I have already tried the "Curve through Point and Direction" option and it doesn't work for my case as it requires additional direction reference. FYRI would appreciate it if anybody could help. 

Does anyone have a reference , any link , a video etc.  on how to use parameter option as a variable selection in sensitivity or feasibility analysis in Creo BMX   

In Creo 10.0 and above, when converting stp files, am I not able to set the coordinate system?Please let me know if there is a way to set it with the coordinate system I made 

Is it possible to import datum points  in Creo model  stored  in .pts format file using Creo Toolkit C++ Programming. Which functions and libraries can be used to import it. TIA.
